Texas HB4245 amends compensatory and punitive damage limits in employment discrimination claims.

Texas HB4245 amends the Texas Labor Code to set specific limits on compensatory and punitive damages in employment discrimination claims based on the size of the respondent's workforce. The limits are $50,000 for employers with fewer than 101 employees, $100,000 for those with 101 to 200 employees, $200,000 for those with 201 to 500 employees, and $300,000 for those with more than 500 employees. The bill also includes an adjustment mechanism for inflation, tying damage limits to changes in the consumer price index.
